| Unknown to me as explained to me by transmission mechanic the torque converter was disintegrating over time putting debris into transmission cooler located inside the radiator. this clogged up the radiator thus preventing cooling of transmission. transmission gears thus wore out due to excessive heat. the mechanic whose specialty is transmissions has received bulletins from his trade association and nissan on this matter but at the time could only show me bulletin from the infinity q45 model who has the same transmission and problems. mechanic told me that nissan advice was to add an external transmission cooler which would allow a little longer life, but eventually the torque converter will go. i had only 62k miles and consider this not enough to warrant transmission failure. nissan does not have a recall on this thus will not help out on expenses. i feel they should contribute something since they knowingly were aware of this problem which was a poorly manufactured torque converter. *ak | |||
